Must be nice to afford toys like this.

Agreed! There's not enough kitchen counter space to make a sandwich.... but I guess if you can afford that, you can afford to have your Chef follow behind with a "chuck wagon"....LOL!!

I've seen that beast in person. It was at the NW Overland rally.

The Mercedes/Bimobil is probably $350-400k new. The MAN-KAT looks homemade.

I am with you colliehauler...you could buy 2 or 3 well-maintained used Liberty or Marathon coaches for that $$ if you had trouble deciding on which you liked best 😉

But they can't go where this truck camper can go. Those RVs are pavement princesses.

In that price range, I want a unimog based rig...because I sure won't care about fuel cost anyway.

You are absolutely correct. My 2005 Unimog with very civilized cab and driving habits and a German built Unicat camper cost considerably less. With considerably more bad road and off-road capabilities. Like much bigger tires, 2 low ranges, 2 hydraulic winches, factory locking diffs at both ends, very importantly CTIS.

That thing should have no problem getting over the speed bumps at Walmart.

Earth Roamer! HA! try getting service for that anywhere outside of N America.

[shastagary]

the Earthroamer is a purpose built off road rv for those that like to camp away from all the other rv{s that could never get to where it can go.
your not going to follow this in your Prevost or Newell motorcoach.
you have to have deep pockets to afford it though there are more expensive ones

Carbon fiber to save weight, granite counter tops for??

Agree, those things are super cool, but I have trouble getting past how a built class 5 truck and a Mac daddy TC is 90-95% as functional as the ER for 1/4 the cost. Maybe 1/3 if you went totally overboard.
And for $600k + you don’t get a generator....?

If you have the cash go for it, looked at Earthroamer only down fall is the Ford is the only chassis, ordered one from Global Expedition Vehicles based on a Frieghtliner chassis, should have by October.

Huuuuuh ... that's certainly a cheapout compromise of a decent RV toy.

Here's what we should all lust after ... at around $1,700,000 plus options ... this F750-based Earthroamer LV-HD should really be what dreams are made of 😉 :

Looks like a TEOTWAWKI type vehicle. Surprised they used carbon fiber instead of Kevlar. Maybe add some armor plating around the critical infrastructure. That sort of thing.

Europeans have the right idea. Build an Earth Roamer on a frame & engine that can be serviced virtually anywhere on Earth. Who knows anything about Ford, Chevy or Dodge outside of N America?

Nice toy for those who want to be seen though.
